Cloudpunk - City of Ghosts

So frustrating I had to stop playing it. There are two things going on: the world you're navigating and the story you're hearing/reading. They have almost *nothing* connecting them. It's like you're travelling in a Blade Runner world and listening to an unrelated audio book. And the audio book isn't that great, maybe just listen to some other book while playing this game. And they interfere with each other. So many times I find myself just waiting for some long-winded dialog to end so that I can be given a nav point, since the characters have nothing interesting to say about the world. I gotta go to Chinatown - will they mention anything about that, something to connect what I'm doing to the world? Nope. Want to say something about the building I'm going to, how it looks super rich, or it's a slum? Nah. The world could be Hyrule and it wouldn't matter. Another time, I was supposed to get a logic chip. The dialog was so long winded that I found chip and was back in the car driving off while they were talking about how I was going to find the chip. "Where is it? can you help me" blah blah blah I already have it! It just drags out runtime, wasting your precious time on this Earth, with no connection to what you are actually doing. And most of the time you can't skip dialog. You just gotta get a coffee or something. I'm just waiting for the dialog to run its course so I can get back to doing something. Other times, it'll send you on wild goose chases, go to nav point 1, JK, go to nav point 2, JK, go somewhere else. It doesn't matter where, the nav points could be random and you wouldn't know, cause the story doesn't relate to the world. This means you are getting distracted from enjoying the beauty of the world by having to pay attention to the plot. At one point it slows down your car, and you have to go 20,000 km super slow. Again extending the run time by making it significantly less fun. I'd call this a sloppy disaster of a DLC. Maybe my expectations were too high.

city of ghosts? you mean cloudpunk 2? Cloudpunk - City of Ghosts is arguably better than the base game, delving deeper into the foundations of Nivalis and the circumstantial lives cultivated under its optimistically oppressive atmosphere. To me, this isn't a DLC. City of Ghosts is an EXPANSION. Delivered ALL, not just more of what i Loved about cloudpunk. kudos to these writers!!

More of nivalis, more flying and walking and talking. yes, please. Expands the base game and feels the same.

A lot slower than the main game, but overall it's more of the same (in a good way). Would recommend if you enjoyed the base game. Would also recommend to prepare for their upcoming game set in this city.

Decent DLC with enjoyable new characters, slow story progression and mixed dialogue quality
